Cortical surface area and cortical thickness in the precuneus of adult humans

Highlights • The precuneus is one of the most variable cortical areas among adult humans. • Size effect and sexual differences have only a minor influence on the proportions and variation of the precuneus. • Differences are associated with cortical surface area, and not with cortical thickness. • Th...

Beschreibung
Zusammenfassung:	Highlights • The precuneus is one of the most variable cortical areas among adult humans. • Size effect and sexual differences have only a minor influence on the proportions and variation of the precuneus. • Differences are associated with cortical surface area, and not with cortical thickness. • These variations are not overtly associated with performance differences in traditional psychometric tests.
